Interface Range
An interface range is a set of interfaces to which other commands may be applied, and may be created if
there is at least one valid interface within the range. Bulk configuration excludes from configuring any
non-existing interfaces from an interface range. A default VLAN may be configured only if the interface
range being configured consists of only VLAN ports.
The
interface range command allows you to create an interface range allowing other commands to be
applied to that range of interfaces.
The interface range prompt offers the interface (with slot and port information) for valid interfaces. The
maximum size of an interface range prompt is 32. If the prompt size exceeds this maximum, it displays (...)
at the end of the output.
To display all interfaces that have been validated under the interface range context, use the
show range
command in Interface Range mode.
To display the running configuration only for interfaces that are part of interface range, use the
show
configuration
command in Interface Range mode.
Bulk Configuration Examples
The following are examples of using the interface range command for bulk configuration:
• Create a Single-Range
• Create a Multiple-Range
• Exclude a Smaller Port Range
• Overlap Port Ranges
• Commas
Create a Single-Range
Figure 10-13. Creating a Single-Range Bulk Configuration
Note: Non-existing interfaces are excluded from interface range prompt.
Note: When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they were entered and are not
sorted.
